1 . BBC Young Reporter Competition
If you are 11-18 years old, tell us about a story you think the BBC should be reporting.
What is the BBC Young Reporter Competition?
It is a yearly opportunity for 11- to 18-year-olds across the UK to submit (提交) an original story idea to the BBC. BBC Young Reporter Competition winners will have the chance to tell their story on TV, radio, online or on social media with the help of BBC journalists, producers and program makers. We are not looking for finished reports but entries should just be an outline of a story idea. This can be submitted as a written description or videos.
Entries will be judged in two age categories: 11-15 and 16-18. There is one entry category: Me and My World. Entries should be an original and true story about your life, or the world you live in. It could be about your own identity or experience that impacts you or your community. You need to show how your report on this story can reflect the wider situation. Entries will only be considered when submitted via the online mechanism (机制). No other method of entry is permitted (this includes email or post).
Judging process
Stories will be judged on editorial merit (优点) — that means the strength of the story, originality, and the personal story or background related to it. Judges will be looking for 40 winning stories from across the UK. Judges include editors from across the BBC as well as presenters and reporters. Stories will not be broadcast until all the judging is completed and the winners are announced in June.

3 . Whether you’re looking to learn more about sustainability or imagine yourself as a media big man at the head of a world-famous magazine, here are several books worth popping on your Good Reads list.
| The Conscious Closet by Elizabeth L. Cline
| As the pressure to save the planet increases, it’s important to turn the conversation to our closet. Stockpiling endless printed books on sustainability seems somewhat unwise, but The Conscious Closet is easily the best of the lot. It exposes the true cost of fast fashion and encourages the reader to think twice about unwise purchasing, drawing deeply on Cline’s own experiences. |
| How To Dress Secret Styling Tips From A Fashion Insider by Alexandra Fullerton
| Former fashion editor at Stylist magazine, Alexandra Fullerton certainly knows something about getting dressed. Illustrated beautifully, this book allows you to dip easily in and out of her easy-to-follow advice, helping you carve out a signature style, shop more effectively and even wash and store your clothes to maximize their full potential. |
| The New Fashion Rules by Victoria Magrath
| One of the UK’s most successful fashion bloggers, Victoria McGrath has used her platform to demonstrate the growing value of influencer culture on fashion and new media. Her friendly, accessible tone is backed up with some serious knowledge — her PhD in fashion marketing allows her to explore how far fashion has come in recent decades, discussing many things including virtual reality shopping while offering up a brief tour of fashion’s 21st century history. |
| Advanced Love by Ari Seth Cohen
| The photographic blog series that made stars of Iris Apfel and Linda Rodin, the Advanced Style brand has grown over the past decade, demonstrating that real beauty is truly ageless. His third and most recent book, Advanced Love sees Ari Seth Cohen picturing couples from all walks of life, making a statement about our dismissal of romance within the over-40 set. The perfect festive gift for your special other-half, or a treat-to-self as a constant reminder that love never goes out of style. |

4 . How the Vox Book Club Works
Every month, we pick a book. We go through it week by week, with a discussion post (帖子) going up on the site every Friday. Each discussion post will contain thoughts and discussion questions from our book critic, but we’ll also have comments turned on so you can share your thoughts there with a chief editor, a column writer and even a TV host. Use our discussion posts as a jumping off point (起点) with your friends and family. And at the end of the month, we’ll hold a discussion.
Next June’s Main Discussion
Next June, we’ll turn to William Goldman’s The Princess Bride. It is a comedy, which is about how Westley saved his lovely and beautiful girlfriend Buttercup from a wizard (巫师) prince. You’ve probably seen the classic 1987 movie adapted from the book, which is one of those book-ad-movie pairs where each part can stand on its own, though they also perfect each other in very wonderful ways. That’s probably because William Goldman was also one of Hollywood’s greatest screenwriters.
The Vox Book Club Project for Next June
Friday, June 3, 2022: Discussion covering the introduction to the 30th anniversary edition—Chapter 4
Friday, June 10, 2022: Discussion covering Chapters 5-6
Friday, June 17, 2022: Discussion covering Chapters 7-8 in the original edition, plus Buttercup’s Baby at the end of later editions
Thursday, June23, 2022: Virtual (虚拟的) live event.

5 . Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
◇ Continental Breakfast
◇ Breakfast and Dinner
◇ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit. you must first ask your host' s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.
